Editorial Reviews Aside from his breathtaking virtuosity, however, it is ultimately the musical refinement and emotional depth that distinguishes Kolanian's playing. The gems that he has created with this recording deserve to be treasured, and are sure to become a reference, for many years to come. -Kevork Imirzian
Rick Anderson, All Music Guide
What Kolanian has created here is an admirably lyrical, complex, and insightful fusion of folk and classical music.
Stacy Meyn, Global Rhythm, April 2005
Songs of famed Armenian composer Komitas are prominent on the album, and Kolanian's interpretations are deemed second to none.
Album Description
With this recording, Iakovos Kolanian sets a new standard in the interpretation and performance of Armenian music in the Classical idiom. What he presents here to the listener is not an ordinary transcription of this material for the classical guitar but, rather, a meditation on these choice Armenian folk tunes that is the fruit of many years of study, reflection and refinement. Owing to an almost instinctive feel for this music, he bestows each individual piece with a unique touch that has been shaped by his solid grounding in the traditions of the Spanish guitar, his devotion to the music of J. S. Bach and, of course, his natural affinity for Komitas.
